135: The Movie Emperor's Possession: Lu Ming's Gratitude
"Ah, have I finally arrived?"
But just at this moment, Lin Xiao's voice suddenly rang out from outside the cave.
"Who's there?"
Hearing this voice, Lu Ming's heart trembled, and he quickly looked out of the cave.
He saw Lin Xiao, who had just jumped down from the cliff, slowly and leisurely walking into the cave.
"Could it be Yu Yuntian's dog?" Lu Ming thought to himself as he looked at Lin Xiao.
Because it seemed that in the entire Azure Emperor Sect, apart from Yu Yuntian and Sun Yao, those two despicable individuals, no one else knew his current location.
"You must be Lu Ming." After entering the cave, Lin Xiao naturally spotted Lu Ming quickly.
But to avoid making him suspicious, Lin Xiao pretended not to know him and asked.
"Who are you? Who sent you?" Lu Ming asked with a cold gaze, looking at Lin Xiao.
Because he couldn't discern Lin Xiao's cultivation, Lu Ming's eyes were filled with deep apprehension.
Unconsciously, the spiritual Qi in his body began to stir, and golden runes appeared on his body.
It seemed as if he would directly make a move if Lin Xiao couldn't answer his question.
However, Lin Xiao didn't care about this; he simply introduced himself.
"My name is Lin Xiao, an Elder of the Hall of Law Enforcement."
"The reason I came here today is to investigate your cliff fall case, and also the case of you harassing a female Disciple of the Sect."
"What, harassing a female Disciple of the Sect?! Who did I harass?" As soon as Lin Xiao finished speaking, Lu Ming's voice immediately rang out.
As a Cultivation idiot, Lu Ming was a very simple person; otherwise, he wouldn't have been framed so easily.
So, when Lu Ming heard Lin Xiao speak of him in such a way, he naturally stepped forward without a second thought.
"Did he take the bait?" Seeing Lu Ming's reaction, Lin Xiao secretly smiled to himself.
But on his face, he feigned seriousness, "What, now the entire Sect is spreading rumors that you sexually harassed Sun Yao, and then Yu Yuntian came to her rescue like a hero. Do you still want to deny it?"
"Damn it, those two despicable individuals, how dare they tarnish my innocence like this."
"Once I get out, I will definitely grind those two to dust!" Lu Ming said, exasperated.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xiao with some suspicion.
"No, your Law Enforcement Hall has always been inactive, so why are you suddenly interfering in this matter today for no reason?" Lu Ming said with a stern expression.
"Hehe, those are things of the past. From today onwards, the Law Enforcement Hall will be under my sole command."
"Do you think I would keep those pests, allowing them to continue ruining the reputation of the Law Enforcement Hall?" Lin Xiao said with a smile.
"Do you think I would believe your words? The Hall of Law Enforcement has been under the effective control of Elder Feng for many years now."
"And Elder Feng is an extremely powerful Saint Realm expert. I don't think you have the ability to seize control of the Hall of Law Enforcement from him," Lu Ming said.
He believed he had seen through the loopholes in Lin Xiao's words at a glance.
Lin Xiao did not refute Lu Ming's words.
He simply said, "My Master is the Heavenly Saint King."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming immediately showed a look of shock.
"What, you said you are a Disciple of the Heavenly Saint King?"
"This⦠how is this possible? Didn't the Heavenly Saint King stop taking Disciples?" Lu Ming said in disbelief.
"Hehe, I am an exception." Lin Xiao smiled.
After speaking, the aura of the Heavenly Hegemon Body immediately spread out.
Seeing this, Lu Ming, who was beside him, was utterly dumbfounded.
"Wh-what, it's actually the Heavenly Hegemon Body?!"
"Besides the Heavenly Saint King, there's actually another Heavenly Hegemon Body in this world." Lu Ming muttered to himself.
He immediately believed everything Lin Xiao had told him earlier.
"I implore Elder Lin to uphold justice for me; I am innocent." Lu Ming quickly said.
"Oh? Innocent? How do you mean?" Lin Xiao, like an actor, feigned surprise.
Seeing this, Lu Ming quickly recounted his experiences.
Then, with a wronged expression, he looked at Lin Xiao, "Please, Elder Lin Xiao, you must seek justice for me."
"Rest assured, justice resides in people's hearts. Since this matter is not as simple as you say it is,"
"Then my Law Enforcement Hall will thoroughly investigate this matter to the end." Lin Xiao feigned anger.
This quickly evoked Lu Ming's gratitude, "Thank you, Elder Lin, thank you, Elder Lin."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiao's voice rang out again.
"A thorough investigation is possible, but before that, I still need your cooperation." Lin Xiao said.
"How do I cooperate?" Lu Ming asked.
"You are currently under suspicion, so naturally, you must first return with me to the Law Enforcement Hall and stay in a Prison Cell for a period of time."
"But don't worry, my Law Enforcement Hall treats prisoners well. We won't do anything to you until the investigation is thoroughly completed." Lin Xiao said.
"Alright, I am willing to return with you to the Hall of Law Enforcement." Lu Ming immediately said.
Lu Ming was in his prime youth, young and impetuous.
So, for him, his reputation was an extremely important thing.
Therefore, he agreed to Lin Xiao's words without a second thought.
"Good, alright, then you can come back with me to the Hall of Law Enforcement first."
"However, to cover your tracks, you cannot expose yourself yet, so..."
"So what?" Lu Ming asked.
"So grab onto me." Lin Xiao said.
"Ah?" Lu Ming was stunned.
But before he could react, his vision instantly became a void, as if he had been pulled into the Void Realm.
A strong sense of dizziness came over him, making him feel nauseous.
He had no choice but to tightly grip Lin Xiao's clothes.
After a long while, the darkness in his eyes slowly faded, and the dizziness gradually disappeared.
And Lu Ming and Lin Xiao had already arrived in the Hall of Law Enforcement.
"Greetings, Elder Lin."
"We pay our respects, Elder Lin."
...Countless Disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall respectfully greeted Lin Xiao upon seeing him.
"What is this place? What just happened?"
But at this moment, Lu Ming was a bit bewildered.
"Hehe, this is the Hall of Law Enforcement."
"It's my first time using a great spatial technique, and I'm still a bit unaccustomed to it, please don't mind." Lin Xiao said with a smile, looking at Lu Ming.
After speaking, he led Lu Ming towards the Prison Cell.
"Greetings, Elder Lin." The people in the Prison Cell respectfully greeted Lin Xiao upon seeing him.
However, upon seeing Lu Ming beside Lin Xiao, they all couldn't help but feel a surge of indignation.
"Lu Ming?! You scoundrel, you're still alive?"
"Yes, indeed, good people don't live long, but calamities last for ages."
This made Lu Ming, who was beside them, extremely wronged and he was about to retort.
However, just then, Lin Xiao's voice suddenly rang out.
"Alright, stop your clamoring."
"There might be a misunderstanding in this matter, so it's not too late for you to discuss it after the results of the case are out." Lin Xiao waved his hand and said.
"As you command, Elder Lin."
Those guards of the Prison Cell, after hearing Lin Xiao's words, indeed mostly quieted down.
The hostility in their eyes towards Lu Ming lessened somewhat.
